8800 ultra was released 10 years ago at $699. Forget what the Titan X costs or anything else --- this is a good deal (for ultra high end) and don't tell me you didn't expect Nvidia to price this thing at $850+.
A 1080 for $500 is also super nice... but I know a few members are about to chime in with 10 paragraphs of research about how this is a bad deal based on previous gen performance differences and other factors they make up in their heads.

What amazes me is the number of reviews stating what great value it is. Nvidia are very clever. They intentionally set the titan price far too high, perhaps not even selling as many chips as they can make, only to massively drop the price and everyone thinks it's a great deal. Reminds me of all those sofa stores that overprice all their sofa's for 1 month, so they can then sell them "40% off!!!" and everyone thinks it must be an amazing bargain.
As for the card, tbh they have nailed it. o/c headroom looks good with a better cooler. As I said above all the reviewers are saying it's cheaper then they thought it would be. They also keep saying how it's the first card that is fast enough to do 4k well. Timed the release when everyone is blowing money on new rizen builds. You know it's going to do well.
The drop in price of the regular 1080 was clever as well - makes that a very appealing card all of a sudden, and it gets mentioned in all the 1080Ti reviews as it's compared against it (due to nvidia saying 1080Ti is X percent faster). That will get a lot of people saying I'd love a 1080Ti, however I can't stretch to that but a 1080 looks pretty good, it's only X amount slower and now it's much cheaper, I'll get one of them.
None of this is "luck", someone in Nvidia marketing knows what they are doing.
It's sold out what are you talking about?It looks like not many people are buying into the continued price gouging. I imagine it is because most people willing to spend $700 for a graphics card are willing to spend more and already have the Titan X. This performance is a year old already, so at $700 i don't think it is a very compelling offer.
I was expecting it to cost $7-800. It couldn't have been more than that because that price bracket was already nailed with the TitanX. Anyone willing to spend $900 would likely end up just spending $1200 to get the Titan IMO. I was hoping (dreaming really) for another $650 price for this Ti part, but I will live with $700 since they increased the price of the Titan by $200, the X80 by what, $150-200? But they only increased the Ti by $50. Considering there is absolutely no other option on the market except for a different Nvidia card, I won't cry about the price anymore than I already have. I'll be quite happy with the 1080ti. Not to mention, after selling all my old stuff, that 1080ti will cost me just about $0.00. I'm quite excited at the moment. Please excuse me while I excuse myself.
Meh fury rarely impressed me, the performance along all games are not consistent; some performed great, some gave you "WTF is this"Yeah the 1080ti is a beast but we all expected it to be. What impressed me was how the Fury was holding up pretty well in many of the bench marks.

Sold out and the custom cards haven't launched yet.
And who determines price gouging? $700 seems like a bargain for something that lets you enjoy your hobby.
The 1080Ti is an incredible win.
It actually doesn't have horrible price/performance despite being the fastest card in the world. ... Something you don't even come close to with x80
I just found out my microcenter will be receiving some stock tomorrow morning. According to some folks at overclock.net, the preorders have started shipping. If I don't receive a shipping notification by tomorrow I'm going to be at my microcenter to pick one up. This wait is killing me

All it is is a price reduction on the Titan XP + slight gimp to memory 7 months later. This isn't any new tech.
The 1080 has better price/perf all over

Looks to be the case but I think it was early in the morning. Alot of people at overclock seemed to have grabbed the 2nd round of orders from Nvidia in the morning.I thought Nvidia site said they were starting sales tomorrow morning at 10am. Preorders are sold out, but the official sale starts tomorrow morning.
'Sold out' doesn't mean much. All it means is limited stock, judging by the lack of enthusiasm in enthusiast forums.Of course $700 "seems" like a bargain, but that's what the $1200 price gouging Titan X was all about- make $700 "seem" like a bargain. At any rate, i'm sure they'll sell enough to justify implementing the $700/$1200 scheme the next time. No biggy, each to there own.
So how much should it be? $700-800 for a computer part that last a year or so is nothing for a hobby. I invite AMD to offer similar performance for the same price.
